CHANCE DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. *7, 1909.

Application filed October 29, 1908. Serial No. 459,985.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED N. GITTER- MAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Chance Devices, of which the following is a specification. v

The object of my invention is to provide a device of this character in whichdice' may be thrown in an inclosed and transparent case. attached to a dice on so that without throwing the dice on a sur ace exterior to the cup they can be thrown and read. This object is accomplished by my device, some emwhich appear below.

For a more particular description of my invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in whic Figure 1 is a plan View of a dice cup with my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 4 is a detailed view showing the bottom of the dice cup and the closures therefor. Fig. 5 shows a modified construction.

Throughout the various views of the drawings similar reference characters designate similar parts.

1 indicates a dice cup or goblet or similar vessel which is transparent or partially transparent and preferably. made of glass. It is provided with a bottom 2 which is also preferably transparent and a false bottom 3 which are separated sufliciently to allow dice 4 to be placed between them and moved freely therein in the chamber 5 between the bottoms 2 and 3.

In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the false bottom 3 fits in a suitable recess and is held by cement in a groove 6 or any other suitable manner.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5 the dice are placed in the chamber 5 and the same is closed by the integral bottom 3 which is shaped before the structure is completed. If desired, the false bottom 3 or the bottom 2, either, but not both, may be made so as not to be transparent so that the dice can be seen through one surface only. It is also obvious that one die may be used if desired.

When the device is used, it is shaken as an ordinary dice cup and is finally brought to rest and the upper-most surface of the dice then examined to determine what the throw is. The preferred construction is to make the false bottom 3 not transparent so that the dice can be observed as shown in Fig. 1.

What I claim is:

A dice cup having a transparent bottom 2, a false bottom 3 forming therewith a chamber 5, and dice 4 in said chamber.

In witness whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
